I hope you enjoyed the book. It was fun to put it out there. I totally understand the need to make some $$. Still, I hope you do come back with even some shorter posts on this crazy election year. I’ve never seen such a bunch of asshats!

Jayne, How sweet of you! I’ve missed blogging, but it was taking up all my time. And I need to earn money, most especially if the effing Republicans take over and try to start dismantling Medicare and SS (which I think they’d fail at)! I would like to get back to blogging, maybe doing shorter postings. BTW, I’m the Virginia who bought your book for my Kindle.

Happy New Year to you too!

Happy New Year!

Somehow missed your comment till now, Judie. I have a vague sense of reading it in while I was caring for my mother back home. Have also taken a hiatus from blogging. Have to EARN money, unfortunately. Re your son being at THE Safeway: holy fuck. What a horror show our country is becoming. That somehow people have the right to bear submachine guns. Why not grenades and napalm? Yes, it’s sickening. But I’m sure glad you and your son are safe and sound.

Here’s one for you–Nightmare at Safeway. Our son Keil was in Safeway on Saturday when Jared Loughner shot Gabby Giffords and then shot and killed 6 people and wounded 13 more. That store is seven miles from my house, and I have shopped there often. It is only one mile from my son’s house and he is there weekly.
Please read my post on the incident and read the comments from others. In this country we seem to take one step forward and two steps back. I am heartsick.

No need to wait for the afterlife. Myths are symbolic and representational. We should draw strength, motivation, and inspiration from the mythical characters to fight injustice, here and now.

I hear you about the water wars. We have lots more water here on the East Coast, but who knows what climate change may do to our rainfall.

I’m reading this interesting book, “Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed.” Climate change (whether or not man made) and ignoring the environment are two of the factors that all failed societies share.

Not being able to afford chocolate IS the last straw, says the woman hiding a box of chocolate creme Oreos in her exercise clothes drawer. (Sad thing is, I have such a poor short-term memory I’ve already forgotten twice they were there. But on the plus side, what a nice surprise when I open the drawer!)
